Sex textbook causes controversy
by Amy Goss
Students enrolled in "Marriage and Family" musl read
and sign a memorandum to
buy a texlbook ordered for
the class because of a controversy over the book's content. ' .
The memo from Dean
Dwight Jessup and Professor
Don Belton, instructor of the
class, states, "Sex: A User's
Guide, provides a straight forward illustrated and easily
understood treatment of hu
man sexual practice in all its
forms. Some students may
well be offended by ils explicit
presentation. Purchase of the
texlbook is therefore voluntary. Students will not be tested on its content, although the
subject matter will be discussed in class."
The textbook, Sex: A User's
Guide, ordered for the class
by Belton arrived lale lo the
Campus Bookstore. "Someone
in the bookstore raised the
issue of what to do with the
book and Wanda Nelson, the
assistant bookstore manager,
contacted me," said Bruce
Kunkel, director of administrative services. "I gol in touch
with the Dean's office and he
took over from there."
"The decision does not represent my best desire bul the
opinion of the college and one
that I respect," stated Belton
in a class meeting on Wednesday Oct. 5.
Jessup attended the meeting at Belton's invitation, and
explained the reasons for the
book, see page 5

Schlossberg benefit concert raises funds
by Neal Bernards
A youthful crowd of anti-
draft supporters gathered recently on the U of M campus
fora benefit concerl for Sieve
Schlossberg. The bands, who
donated their time, included
Skinny Jim, Your Children,
and ihe Replacements.
Jim Capra, a member of the
Northland Resistance Committee, and an organizer of
ihe benefit, was pleased with
Ihe turnout. "We're rich," he
said. "With 1,000 people at
four dollars apiece we're doing
fine."
Though Schlossberg is not
affiliated with either of Ihe
sponsoring groups, the proceeds will help pay his defense
cosls, which he estimates will
be between 35,000 and
$10,000. "I don't know how
I'll get all the money," said
"Your Children" play for Schlossberg benefit.

Schlossberg. "Maybe from individuals. I just hope God
provides."
After paying for overhead
costs, Capra figures about
$1,500 will go to Schlossberg's
defense fund. "Seventy-five
percent of Ihe money goes to
Steve. It's not going into anybody's pocket."
The organizers advertised
that there would be no age
limit on the concert, and as a
result, scores of high-school
aged listeners attended.
The Northland Resistance
Committee plans more benefits, including a concert by
the group, Husker Du. "We're
going to do this until we drop,"
said Capra, who works on
resistance full-time without
pay-.
Capra informed Schlossberg of the benefit two weeks
before it occurred, but
Schlossberg did not address
the audience. "I can't speak
for anyone but myself," said
Schlossberg when asked if he
concert, see page 5
Interim
in Israel
offered
by Marcia Jahns
Up to a dozen Bethel students will spend interim in
Israel Ihis year. Rather than
trudging through the Minnesota snow to cement block
classrooms, they will be walking where Jesus walked and
learning by experience.
The three-week trip will be
spent with approximately one
hundred other students from
all over the world. They will
slay primarily at the Institute
of Holy Land Studies in Jerusalem. Carl Rasmussen, associate professor of Old Testament at Bethel and former
academic dean of the Institute, will be leading the study.
Time in Israel will be divided into two sections. The first
ten days will consist of short
bus trips. These will allow
students to see many places
like Capernaum, Nazareth, the
Sea of Galilee and Masada.
The other eleven days will
be set aside for students to
explore on their own. Sights
near the Institute include
Bethlehem, the Garden of
Gethsemane, and Golgatha.
Visiting mosques, synagogues, and museums are
Israel, see page 4
Campus will fill for parent and visitation weekend
by Suzy Shelly
Students may notice an excess of
people scurrying around this weekend as 450 prospective students and
parents of current students flood the
campus for Bethel visitations Oct.
14-16..
Campus visit weekend, and Parents' weekend have been two separate events in the past, but this year
the two have been combined and
larger attendance is expected for
both divisions.
Campus visit events for studenls
were formerly held on Fridays, Iwo
in the fall and one in the spring. This
year Ihe fall days were combined
into one weekend event so that classrooms can be used for workshops.
The expected 150 students will be
housed on campus in townhouses
and dorms wilh volunteer students
and R.A.'s, allowing students to experience typical "dorm life."
"I think a weekend visit (rather
than a day) will give students a more
'wholislic' look at campus," said
Cheryl Staurseth, recruitment coordinator. "They'll see both the academic and social aspects of Bethel."
Visitation for parents of current
students has always been held on
weekends, but Curl Fauth, director
of alumni and coordinator of the
parent programs, likes the idea of
combining Parents' and Campus visit weekend. He anticipates 300 parents to attend his portion of the weekend aclivities.
Slaurselh and Faulh have lined up
a variety of aclivities so other studenls and parenls can have fun while
learning about Bethel and visiting
students. Events begin Friday night
at the seminary with lake-offs of
"The Price is Right," and "Family
Feud," hosted by Sundouloi members, Bethel's welcoming group. A
student variety program called "Under Construction," written by Anne
Blevins, will follow and rollerskat-
ing runs from 11 p.m. to 12:30 a.m.
On Saturday, parents and students
may attend departmental workshops, the Bethel-Concordia football
game, and the Pete Carlson music
concert. A late-night popcorn feed
with cartoon entertainment follows
for studenls. The weekend concludes
Sunday morning with an on-campus
worship service with Glenn Bozon,
director of Bethel public relations
and marketing.
"We're looking forward to a good
time," said Fauth.
Although the weekend is designed
primarily for guests, current students can get involved in the weekend of activities. Students are invited
to attend the Pete Carlson concert, 7
p.m. Saturday, and the Sunday
morning service at 10 a.m.
And, as Fauth joked, everyone is
encouraged to be on their "best behavior!"
